275/35/18 front with 315/30 rear...how does it look?

[matthayn]

315/30 on 18x10

Love the look

I guess there's a reason nobody has 275/35 and 315/30s...must look funny even though they're close!

I think I'm just going to pony up for the more expensive and narrower 305/35s. I looked at selling all the tires I bought and doing the 265/35 thing up front with the 315/30s, but those 265/35s are definitely too low profile for my liking.

This doesn't look that funny...

In fact, it's the best setup I've seen to date. Fecking spot on.

I had 335/30/18 toyo r888 on rear with low pro irs bolts and HR race springs and I did not roll the fenders...and i was fine for 5 months with no issues. My buddy rented a fender roller for his car and rolled his fenders and i decided to roll mine since it was free just in case. I had a friend who had a 2004 with the same setup as mine and he went over a bump going like 75 MPH and chewed his tires up; this is why I decided to roll them.

Deleted because inaccurate, that rear is listed at 25.6" tall.

Honestly if you or anyone can notice a tenth of an inch on 25" you have an amazing eye. Over time though the difference will grow as the rears are bound to wear faster.

The 305/35/18 is 26.3" tall which would give a slight rake/ come close to leveling out over time as it wears.

The width difference is so small it'd be hard to notice, if you can appreciate a slight rake go with the 305.

That tire will perform so well that it's a non issue if it's 305 or 315. It runs very wide as well.

When I picked up my 315 toyo tq drag radials, a buddy was getting his 315/30/18 r888's and we found the r888 was almost 3/4" wider than my tires. Like 12.5" toyo tq vs 13.25" r888. I might be remembering it wrong. Toyo lists them as 11.5" and 11.8" but I remember it being a bigger difference.

This guy gets it....

There are TON's of people running the 275/35 315/30 combo. With R888's , there difference is unnoticeable. Just get the 315's, you won't see any negative rake and you'll get the look you are after. As mentioned, I regret going with the 305/35 over the 315/30 ....oh yeah, the 315's are also CHEAPER too!!

with a 305/35 or a 315/30 R888 you will need to roll the fenders regardless

I opted to run the 305/35 and regret it, I should have gone 315/30 as it looks better to me

Currently running 18x10's with r888 305/35/18 and didn't have to roll the fenders. I have TF 18x11's coming soon so maybe I'll have to then, we shall see. Oh I have h&r race springs, all iso's in place and low profile bolts.

I just went through this stay decision. 315 proxes are on back order till around June. I did not want to roll my fenders and 335 would have less contact patch, so 335 were off the table. I went with 305 35 18 (275 35 frt) and could not be happier. I have hr race, afs, with 3/8 spacer , no top iso in back, and the 305 look great. I use to have 315 30 (with 275 35 up frt) so I know the look and the only difference is the tire bulge. The difference is barely noticeable. I have pics of both.

From the pictures the 305s look much better imo. And to only have .1 of a difference in contact patch, ill just grab a set of 305s

Wheel width in the rear in both are 10.5

 

[CobraLucci]

275/35/18 bridgestone and 305/3518 toyo r888. Lowered on eibach prokit. No rubbing with low profile irs bolts.

 

[CobraLucci]

And wheels are AFS 18x9 18x10.5 and and btw these tires dead hook at 2nd gear roll my car makes approx 450/450

 

[135 Boom]

I run a 275 35 18 and R888 315 30 18 lowered on eibach springs 1 iso removed from the rear both from the front. I still have the stock IRS bolt and I have not rubbed once yet. The bolt will hit if you jack the rear end up and push down on the tire, but it is barely so I didn't replace it.

 

[135 Boom]

Oh yeah I have the same wheels as you and the fenders are not rolled.
